====DDS applications==== Generators RF low noise RF antennas RF Skin of magneto-optical trap acousto-optic pilot phase locked loop Local oscillator ... ====Edit Advantages==== Frequencies generated by internal divisions phase continuity and limitation of spectrum Very good way to modulate a signal FSK Resolution up to micro Hertz Low phase noise and high agility High spectral purity and stability fully digital programming ====at the laboratory LPL==== For some years for cold atoms teams of Laser Physics Laboratory (LPL), we use the DDS (direct digital synthesis) to develop RF generators of a few MHz to several hundred MHz essential to the operation experiences. This technology through specific components, enables us to produce electronic cards suitable for laboratory experiments. They are fully controllable digitally (frequency, amplitude, phase ...). This component allows us to generate RF signals of high spectral purity, high stability and low phase noise.
